I had a pup with parvo when can my other dog go in the back yard
We had a pup that was 17weeks old that died of parvo on the 2-3-2010.. the question is we have an older dog that is 10years old, when can he go in the back yard.
He hadn't thad a needle for at least 3 years but he has a shoot yesterday and going for a booster in a month... he seems to be fine... We have bleached the back yard as much as we... Q1- when is it safe for him to go in the back yard? Q2- if he was to get parvo when would he have got the virus by? Q3- is it safe for the pup to be buried in the back yard? |

This could go either way. Your older dog could very well be immune to the Parvo virus at his age due to receiving the shots while he was younger. However, if he has a compromised immune system due to his age, he may get the virus. Adult parvo is much harder to kill than puppy parvo. Parvo stays alive in the soil for up to 5 years I believe. So the chances of you getting another puppy are out of the question. Disinfecting the yard are good precautions, but its not a 100% guarantee that neither your older dog, or a new puppy will get the parvo virus later in the year. You should talk to your vet. They may have better solutions for your older dog other than giving h I'm an annual booster. Its rare for adults to get Parvo, but because of your dogs age, this virus can be tricky. As for burring the puppy in your back yard, I wouldn't. If he died from parvo, the virus is still in the body. The virus can seep out of the body and contaminate your backyard. You should dispose of the body propery -- i.e. cremation. |

Hello! About a year ago (almost exactly a year ago) we found a little pup on our street and brought her home. She was around our three adult dogs for 3 days before we found out she had Parvo. Once we discovered this we took her to the vet and she was put into the hospital until she got better....

Okay so here's the story... I found a very young, stray pup at our house this morning which looked to be a great pyrenees mix of some sort. I noticed that she had tapeworms so I decided to take her to the vet to be de-wormed and have her first set of parvo/distemper shots(don't want her to have to...
I've bleached and soaked and washed and everything you can do. But I'm still freaking out. I just brought my pup home from the vet yesterday. She is doing wonderful! But I'm just nervous if she will be able to contract the virus very easily? I also just read that once your pup has parvo and...
